SASSY!
Thursday, August 21st, 2008If I asked the average gal to describe the perfect piece of sexy lingerie, she’d draw me a picture of some hot little concoction of soft lace, gossamer thin pieces of silk, maybe even a little leather. It would most likely involve discomfort, either the stiffness of underwire or some sort of string rubbing against a completely inappropriate area. These masterpieces can be great additions to anyone’s wardrobe, but they aren’t the only way to cause a commotion. Remember ladies, sexy is in the eye of the beholder.
Case in point: my friend Victoria and her husband Dean (the names have been changed to protect the
not-so-innocent). Vikki inadvertently started a trend at home when she donned a tank top and simple pair of Lane Bryant’s cotton pajama shorts with the word “SASSY” written across the backside. Her goal was everyday bedtime comfort, however Dean took one look at her and his brain melted. As a woman that wears a J-cup bra, Vikki’s front is no stranger to appreciative glances, but all of a sudden her own husband was breaking his neck whenever she walked by. Even better, the reaction is the same every time she brings out the shorts – as if it were his first time seeing them. It’s like his birthday, Christmas, and the 4th of July all rolled into one spectacularly stenciled booty-licious package.
Most importantly, these basic cotton shorts make Vikki feel special. Dean points out that whenever SASSY is unleashed, she finds many more reasons to bend over in his presence (”oops, did I just drop that pencil again?”). As they tell me this story together, they look into each other’s eyes and giggle like teenagers. I don’t care how expensive or haute couture your lingerie is, if it doesn’t make you act like that then you’re wasting your money. I would suggest that you try shorts with writing across the back, but good luck finding them. I’m pretty sure that this couple has cleaned out the inventory.
Let’s hear from you. What do you wear that drives your Honey crazy?
